soakes94 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 So I just bought a 2nd hand discovery rear axle to fit to my 90. Im wanting to change the bearings on it but I'm not sure which axle I have. I know it doesn't have ABS but on paddocks I have the choice of to JA032850 (1992) and then from JA032850 after 1992. What would be something that would help me decide? The 2 kits paddock offer appear to be different but I don't know in what way and don't want to end up with the wrong one!

Disco-Ron Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 10 or 24 spline??... square or triangular flange on the diff.... quite domed or flat drive flange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPendrey Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 To add a little more clarity, if you have 10 splines its the older one, if you have 24 it'll be the newer one. If there is a square (4 bolt) flange it was meant to attach directly to the rear prop, if it is triangular it was meant to attach to a rubber 'donut' before attaching to the rear prop, this also is older vs. newer.

soakes94 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 So there are 24 splines, and it currently has a 3 bolt flange. I took it apart and I had drive flange, nut, locking washer, nut, bearing, spacer, bearing, seal. Is this the newer one then?

SPendrey Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Yep. You may want to research switching the flange to the 'old' style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soakes94 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Any advice for removing the old flange? Ive tried the socket method with a 8mm nut and bolt but just seem to either stretch the threads or snap the bolts, have tried heating it as well to break the lock tight but no luck. I might just attack it with a grinder as I don't need it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I did it once..... and just butchered it with a grinder as it was scrap anyway.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
